Sekolah untuk Apa? Memilih Sekolah karena Kelas Sosial dan FOMO?
Realita dari pendidikan anak ternyata tidak berhenti di jenis pendidikan yang ditawarkan. Saya mulai mengikuti akun Instagram beberapa sekolah dasar di Jogja, dan pelan-pelan muncul kesadaran: ternyata memilih sekolah itu sering kali berarti memilih kelas sosial.

Sekolah untuk Apa? Realita Pendidikan Anak
Tapi pengalaman ini membuka mata saya tentang pendidikan anak yang ternyata adalah universe tersendiri. Sekolah dari taman kanak-kanak sampai ke menengah atas di Jogja terutama, ada banyak sekali macamnya—dari sekolah negeri, swasta, swasta agamis, swasta agamis teknologi, swasta agamis internasional, sampai ke homeschooling dan unschooling. Hal ini menggugah pemikiran saya tentang: sebenarnya, sekolah itu untuk…

A One-year Work Reflection
In 2022, I made a major life decision by moving to my Alma mater, UGM, but, not in the same department where I had undergraduate education from. I started my career in Department of Management and Public Policy. I was grateful to be moving back to my hometown, but I knew that I would be…

Painted white, with thin embroidered laces around the edges. Right in the middle, a keyhole with golden plate. That is vintage-style, dented, the shape we cannot guess…

Out of the Comfort Zone
Just saying, why aren’t there many athletes who are “native” Indonesians, and so are some other occupations like entrepreneurs. I know most people seeks things like “kemapanan”. From the beginning to now on people tend to follow the system. I am not saying its bad, because they do well in that system. Things are different…

Kenikmatan Spiritual Hidup di Kalangan Minoritas
Pernah terbayang hidup di kalangan minoritas? Mungkin terpaksa menuntut ilmu di institusi berbasis agama lain, atau bahkan tinggal di negara yang sedikit jumlah umat Islamnya? Lalu jika kita berada di kalangan non-muslim Apakah akan sulit kita mengamalkan agama dan mencari kebahagiaan spiritual? Apakah kita selalu akan mengikuti arus dan melupakan nilai-nilai Islam? Well, kalau dari…
